So far, at least 13 defendants have pleaded guilty, including three Oath Keepers, who have agreed to cooperate with the government.

So far just one defendant, Anna Morgan-Lloyd, has been sentenced, to three years probation and no jail time.
For others, plea negotiations have been complicated by the vast amounts of evidence involved in the investigation.

The Justice Department said at least 165 defendants have been charged with assaulting, resisting, or impeding officers or employees, including more than 50 who were charged with using a deadly or dangerous weapon or causing serious bodily injury to an officer.

Recall June 2020.
George Floyd has been murdered by police in Minneapolis, and the video of his death is so shocking that people across the nation pour onto the streets in protest. In Seattle, demonstrators face off with police at their outpost in the bohemian Capitol Hill neighborhood.
Most protests wane, but this one grows stronger. People return night after night, undeterred by cops shooting rubber blast balls and spraying chemical gases. A yellow-greenish haze drifts through the neighborhood.

SEATTLE Two of the six Seattle police officers who attended the Jan. 6 Stop the Steal rally in Washington, D.C., violated both law and department policy and should be fired, according to the Seattle Police Office of Accountability. According to the Department of Justice, at least 500 people have been arrested in the wake of the Capitol riot.
The Seattle police watchdog released its findings Thursday after more than six months of investigative work, which included interviewing the officers, visiting the Capitol, analyzing cell phone records and speaking with the FBI and Capitol Police.
